Oh no you linked Linus, run for cover.


Still a good vid on a short explanation from start to the current gen of consoles, though I did notice he left out N64 and Dreamcast for some reason.

Maybe they left them because they needed time for the stupid advertisement they did at the end.

Is there a story about Linus I don't know? I mean, I don't know those guys, this was the first vid I've seen from them.

Eh Linus and other channels tend to do that these days since they were paid to rather than just link their sponsor, they found people would skip or adblock pop in ads (the kind that pause your YT vid to play an ad and then resume) and instead opt for ones withn the vid that you wouldn't pick up on until they started talking about said ad.

I wouldn't say there's a story about him, he's just a tech guy that happens to be a PC gamer (though I hardly ever see him playing PC games but he does talk about them and game companies whenever they show up within global news media and talks about them with Luke on his Linus podcast) and I suppose the part before the end of the vid is bound to pointlessly ruffle some feathers despite him throwing in that pro at the end with the con, though I guess the way he talks is bound to have people be upset with him.

I remember watching this vid last year on a debate that tends to go on and off on here (and nearly every other gaming site for that matter), it still ruffled feathers despite him trying to be clear on the subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FYyeas1Thw
